A planned face-lifting for sev- eral retail stores on the west side of Simcoe street, south from the King-Simcoe intersec- tion, is an example of co-oper- ation among building owners themselves. Tenders have been called on "facade renovation work" by Toronto architect Russell W.

Mr. MacEachen said he had asked officials of the National Employment ser- vice to go to Windsor to de- velop a program of adjust- ment in consultation with the Ford company.

Williams has expressed enthusiasm at the} face-lifting. "This is something! we mean to promote with city] renovation work, all of which authorities," he has said. | 463 Percent Construction | Fund Went To Total expenditure in Lake Vista since 1955, financed by the city, amounts to $659,826. lin Lake Vista is greater than This amount represents 4.63 percent of the total expenditure on construction in all of Osh- awa since 1955, according to a report distributed last night to members of city council by Ald. Cecil Bint, public works com-) mittee chairman. In the past 11 years, the per- centage of dwelling units in Lake Vista compared with the total number of units in the city averages 3.15 percent. Each year from 1957 to 1960 the figures show that the per-| centage of expenditure in Lake) Vista was lower than the per-| centage of dwelling units Lake Vista. However, each year from 1961) Vista Area to the present, figures show that the percentage of expenditure the percentage of dwelling units in Lake Vista. | In 1964 the population in the Lake Vista area was 3,357; there were 775 dwelling units; the taxable assessment was $6,017,080; and the total expen- diture on construction in the area was $125,800 highest since 1962 and second highest since 1955.

There will be a few minor changes in player personnel. I know the team will play better next year.' This was the reply given by Carl Brewer, a member of the team's blueline corps, in reply to a question at yesterday's meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa, Brewer | and Bobby Haggart, the Maple Leaf trainer, were speak- | ers as the service club marked Boys' Club Week. i? In reply to another question, Brewer said that Andy |, Bathgate, another team member, had been misquoted in an interview with a Brampton newspaper reporter. He said it must be remembered that Coach Imlach's philoso- phy is to win hockey games, not become popular with his players. He drives his players hard, but if his methods are attended by success the players like them, "Last season was a disappointment for us; but you, as business men, know you cannot be a winner all the time,' Brewer commented, "For some reason we did not jell, but I still feel we were still the greatest team in the league.

Generally good say Oshawa residents. But others feel it is nothing more than an election budget. "It looks like there is an elec- tion coming this year," remark- ed Ald. Richard Donald. With the 10 percent tax cut from July 1 this year, the city alderman said the average wage earner ($5,000 with two children) will get a $15 tax re- duction out of the budget. "It would seem the federal government is trying to buy votes with a $15 gift to tax- pavers,"' said Ald. Donald, in an Oshawa Times' survey. But T. D. "Tommy" Thomas had a different viewpoint "Although I have not really had time to study the budget it would not be one on which the government could go to the peo- ple.

Mayor Lyman Gifford, as a taxpayer, said he didn't see any- thing in the budget for farmers. "I think I'd better join a union and get my dues deducted -- if any union would have me?" he said. The mayor said with Can- ada's economy in such good shape it would not hurt anyone too much to have to pay the 10 percent tax reduction announc- ed by the 'government. He said there was nothing in the budget to aid municipali- ties "Why doesn't the federal gov- ernment allow taxpayers to deduct their municipal taxes from the federal income tax?" asked Mayor Gifford, "This would help far more people who are entitled to help eee Officials Opine On Budget T.

'The Minister seems te think that growth ahead in the next year, "I think it's not only good for business but for the employment market, etc. Besides it's a nice thing to get the 10 percent income tax cut.

"The people in the lower income brackets, below $5,000, are still paying more than their tax. share. "T think that there should be a complete revision of our tax structure. Although it hasn't done much to help the poorer than a 10 percent tax cut and it would benefit those people with low incomes who are trying to maintain their own homes," he said. The budget is obviously an election budget, said Albert Walker, Oshawa riding member of the provincial legislature. "It is natural that everyone should be happy with the prospects of an income tax cut,"* he said. 'I would, however, like to point out that it seems to me there are other ways in which the government might have used any surplus money, if there is any, to greater advantage than 'the small effect this minor tax cut will have on the average citizen "The budget contains minor relief for a number of cate. gories and is obviously an elec- tion budget," he added. "T think the most important question that could be asked is: "What day will the next election be held?' " Mr. Walker said in a recent speech he made in the Ontario Legislature he spoke of the im- portance of education and the ever increasing education costs. He said he expressed hope that some program could be worked out with the federal government so that the government might accept a larger responsibility for this ever increasingly heavy fi- nancial burden on the average home owner. "T know that approaches have been made to the federal gov- ernment and I had hoped that something might be done in this direction," said Mr. Walker.
